A Queer Race.

The race was for S400 and was between
a horse owned by Isaacher Meeks ana a
hog owned BY Mrs. Almeroth. 1t occurred
a short distance out OF the village and was
witnessed by about dozen people, Inc
race crew out of IA bet made by Meeks and
Alex. Rhoades, and was arranged three
weeks ago. Since that time Alex. mas hau
Mrs. Almeroth's porker in training. AS
there was no precedent in the matter Oh
hog training. Alex. hit on a novel plan OF
developing the swiftness OF the pig lie
half starved the porker and put MIN IN Il
pen on the spot where the race was TO
take place. His method was to feed him
a peck of corn once day.
The pig would be stationed at one end
of straight 100-yard lane, and at the
other end was trough in which would
be dumped the corn. The moment the
corn was placed there the pig would be
let 90, and he would at once proceed to
the trough After he got the time OF eat,
ing down fine he would run faster, until
in two weeks time he would make the
100 wards dash in several seconds. Every
day the trough was moved further away
until it got the required distance.
The pig was kept half starved, and as
soon as he saw the corn and was let 90. he
gave a grunt and then dashed forward.
This kind of practice was kept up Tor
three weeks, and at the end OF the time
he made the distance with Maud 5. gait.
Yesterday afternoon the race took place.
Isaacher brought forth his fiery steed to
the hogs own ground. The porcine racer
was in good condition and very hungry.
The horse and pig were put side by side
they started; the porker got under the
horses legs and rather embarrassed him.
He then dashed ahead and reached the
end 40 seconds ahead of the horse. lsaacher
says he will sell the horse now for he has
no use for speeder that cannot beat a
pig in a race.-Burlingt0n Enterprise.

Breakfast is delightful hour in Eng

formal. Servants are often dispensed
with altogether; people come in when
they choose. no one waiting for another,
and you may select your neghbor If you
are in time The women are fresh and
simple in toilet, the sportsmen in knicker-
bockers and shooting suits. ready for the
occupation of the day. In some houses,
the host and hostess sit at opposite ends
of the long table. and one pours tea and
the other coffee. In other mansions,
neither the host nor hostess is visible be-
fore lunch time. The table is spread only
with fruit and bread, and possibly cold
sweets, iellies and marmalade. Perhaps
a young lady OF the family sits behind an
egg boiler and cooks eggs for her f, lends !;
but the substantial meats, hot and cold,
are on the sideboard, and the men get up
and forage for the ladies and themselves.
The vlands, Of course, are abundant and
deiectable. An English breakfast is al
ways substantial. In Scotland, oatmeal
porridge is never absent.
